<p>“A dramatic and darkly funny dose of WASP culture. Liz Parker takes on dysfunctional families, destination weddings, and the fact that sometimes the most difficult person to accept is yourself.” <b>—Laura Hankin, author of <i>Happy &amp; You Know It</i></b></p><p>“In her buoyant, sharply observed, and painfully hilarious debut novel, <i>All Are Welcome</i>, Liz Parker tells the big story of a small lesbian wedding. Over a meticulously planned weekend at a sunstruck Bermuda beach club, the hard-packed, jovial WASP surfaces of two seemingly similar Connecticut families come loose to expose long-buried secrets, uncomfortable truths, and a monsoon of dysfunction. By the time the clouds part, Parker has illustrated with blistering wisdom how, for many of us, finding happiness—alone or with another—begins with first seeing who we’ve been in, and to, our families, and then deciding who it is we will be.” <b>—Bill Clegg, author of <i>The End of the Day</i></b></p><p>“In <i>All Are Welcome</i>, Liz Parker vividly describes a young couple on the brink of their future who must also face their past when their destination beach wedding goes somewhat awry. Over the course of a tumultuous, rum-punch-fueled weekend, secrets are revealed and love is tested. Parker’s keen eye for detail and sense of humor had me both laughing and tearing up, and her sharp plot twists kept me guessing until the last page. With equal parts heart, drama, comedy, and emotion, <i>All Are Welcome</i> is a classic destination-wedding story turned on its head for a discernible modern reader.” <b>—Julia Spiro, author of <i>Someone Else’s Secret</i></b></p>
